Despite the mainstream success of comics such as Ellen DeGeneres and Jerry Seinfeld, the world of standup comedy can often be a grueling circuit of day jobs, nightclubs, and hotel rooms with very little pay and even less respect. Director Jason Dudek chronicles the daily grind of aspiring comics in his painfully funny and incisive documentary OPEN MIC. Centered around the trials and tribulations of standup hopeful Dan Aubrey as he labors for a big break in the competitive industry, OPEN MIC intercuts Aubrey's story with performance clips and interviews of now-famous comedians describing their own struggles on the path to success, including Dave Chappelle, Shawn Wayans, Jim Breuer, Bobcat Goldthwait, Victoria Jackson, Jackie "The Joke Man" Martling, and many more.
